Warning: Spoilers for Squid Game Season 2, Episodes 1 and 2
After winning the 45.6 billion won prize in Squid Game season 1, Gi-hun was unsure what to do with his wealth. What seemed like a blessing soon turned into a curse.
He struggled with the trauma of what he had to do to win, and his newfound money didn’t bring him peace.
In Squid Game season 2, Gi-hun finally finds a purpose for his fortune. He uses the money to track down the people behind the deadly game.
Gi-hun Uses His Money to Fight the Game’s Organizers
Gi-hun hires his old loan sharks to help him find the Salesman, the man who recruited players for the game.
He spends two years looking for him in Seoul, believing the Salesman can lead him to the game’s organizers.
How Much Money Does Gi-hun Have Left?
At the start of Squid Game season 2, Gi-hun still has most of his winnings. Although he spent a lot of his fortune hiring men and buying military-grade weapons, it’s clear that he hasn’t spent it all.
In episode 2, viewers see a large stack of money, with only a few bundles missing, suggesting he still has nearly all of his $31.4 million.
Even if Gi-hun spent $2 million, he would still have about 93% of his fortune left, showing that his wealth is still a major asset in his quest for justice.
